How many have replaced your rims?

OK, so I am not a crazy driver, I don't live up north in a pot-hole infested city, but I have replaced 3 - THREE - of the OEM 17" rims due to warping.

I should've dumped an extra grand into it and bought a new set of aftermarket wheels...

Any of you all experienced the same?

What do you mean "warping"? Are they out of round or something?

Warping?...Are you talking about bent rims?

I just had my four tires replaced. One had a bubble because of a pot hole I hit.

They found that tire's rim bent AND also another tire's rim bent! Now of course the first one was probably caused by the pot hole but what about the other one???

Bent rims can be repaired for about $100 depending on how severe the dent.

I just dropped off one A-spec rim to a place in Chicago that's charging me $100 to fix the dent i got when i hit a pothole real hard.

In searching for places that repair bent rims I found 2 - Wheel Collision in PA and here in NJ a place that is a mobile unit that will home to your home - Jersey Shore Alloy Wheel Repair.

Anybody familiar with them?
